She's right on both counts regarding 1) the Constitution and 2) the status of gun violence in the USA.
The Constitution is a living document meant to be changed to address a changing society. Nobody objected to the 21st Amendment nullified the 18th Amendment. The Constitution is not meant to be enforced blindly and without regards to circumstances. That's why the Supreme Court exists. Do you even realize that the right to an abortion WAS a protected right by the Constitution? I didn't see you calling for Supreme Court justices' heads when they overturned that.
There are even limits on freedom of expression. Slander, libel, incitement, threats, etc. are all illegal and all limitations on freedom of expression. There's even censorship on here of spam advertising. It's a good exception, but it's still a limitation of freedom of expression.
I don't know how many times states have basically ignored federal law, too. It definitely happens.
How many churches, schools, workplaces, etc. need to be shot up before you get that gun access should not be a Constitutional right and is not a basic human right? I mean don't you generally have to get a gun license? I know Florida can deny sales of guns to convicted felons or people that were convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence.
Civilized countries with strict gun laws surprisingly have lower gun violence. Amazing.
Fuck your concealed carry laws. Seriously. If there's one person that should not be allowed to secretly carry the power of life and death in their pockets or purses, it's the average American citizen.
